About this file

This document is a certification form related to Executive Order No. 16 from New York State, which prohibits state agencies and authorities from contracting with businesses conducting business operations in Russia. The executive order directs all affected state entities to refrain from entering into new contracts or renewing existing contracts with entities doing business in Russia while federal sanctions are in effect. Vendors are encouraged to respond to solicitations to preserve future contracting opportunities, even if they are currently excluded due to Russian business operations.

The certification requires vendors to disclose their business operations in Russia by selecting from three possible responses: 1) No business operations in Russia, 2a) Conducting business in Russia but winding down operations, 2b) Providing only vital health and safety services or complying with federal requirements, or 3) Conducting business operations in Russia. The form requires vendors to certify under penalty of perjury that their response is true to the best of their knowledge, and includes space for the vendor's legal name, signature, representative name, title, and date of certification.

Executive Order No. 16 provides that “all Affected State Entities are directed to refrain from entering into any new contract or renewing any existing contract with an entity conducting business operations in Russia.” The complete text of Executive Order No. 16 can be found here.

The Executive Order remains in effect while sanctions imposed by the federal government are in effect.

Accordingly, vendors who may be excluded from award because of current business operations in Russia are nevertheless encouraged to respond to solicitations to preserve their contracting opportunities in case the sanctions are lifted during a solicitation or even after award in the case of some solicitations.

As defined in Executive Order No. 16, an “entity conducting business operations in Russia” means an institution or company, wherever located, conducting any commercial activity in Russia or transacting business with the Russian Government or with commercial entities headquartered in Russia or with their principal place of business in Russia in the form of contracting, sales, purchasing, investment, or any business partnership.
